Why You Should Attend

Arctic Oil Spill Prevention and Response Management

The Oil & Gas Industry is on the constant look out
for new areas of exploration. Extreme climate conditions, remoteness, ice
coverage, but also logistics, lack of infrastructure, governmental regulations
and political instability are just some of the challenges that the industry is
facing today in new frontiers such as the High North, Africa, the Mediterranean
and the Middle East. Environmental consequences can be extremely dramatic if we
canít stop the flow of a spill. Minimising clean up costs, improving
restoration and assessing liability are the main concerns for operators.
Companies are in need of specific guidelines to implement oil spill prevention
strategies and undertake the most effective oil spill recovery.

Thisoil
spillconference will analyse a variety of oil spill scenarios
focusing on the environmental risks and offering practical solutions for oil
spill emergency response. The risk of an oil spill
is uncountable, however we can work on prevention and preparedness. A
good contingency plan, innovative methodologies and response techniques are
essential tools that will enable you to operate efficiently in case of the
worst case scenario Ė a spill!
